4.2!Connectors!
!
The connector marked CAN is for NMEA2000 and the connector marked AUX is for LIN. The panel
cable should be mounted with the text in the rubber mold facing upwards and on the 4 pin connector
the brown and white cable should be on top. See figure 4.1.

4.3!Terminal!resistor!switches!
The SP-12 has onboard terminal resistors that can be connected to the bus using switches located
beneath button 5 on a horizontal panel and under button 8 on a vertical panel. See figure 4.1, 5.1
and 5.2 for position of the switch.
The switch is on as it is pushed towards on, and off as it is pushed towards the numbers. Switch 1 and
2 will individually add 120 Ω to the CAN bus Switch 3 will add 1 kΩ to the LIN bus.
The NMEA2000 requires a total resistance of the bus of 60Ω which is achieved by two parallel 120
resistors. If the SP-12 panel is placed within 6 meters from the end of the bus, an internal terminal
resistor in the SP-12 can be used to exclude one external terminal resistor.
If the total bus length is shorter than 6 meters, both external terminal resistors can be excluded by
using both of the internal terminal resistors in the SP-12.

5. Buttons!
For each button there are three indicator windows. The indicators can be programmed individually
and can indicate red or green. Each button has two switches – left side and right side – that can be
programmed individually. N.B.:The buttons are designed to snap firmly to the SP-12 switches and
are not designed to be detached once mounted on the panel.
5.1!Button!orientation!
!
The frame of the SP-12 panel should be mounted so that the EmpirBus logo is placed next to button
12. Compare figure 5.1, 5.2 and 6.1 for frame and button orientation.

6. Design!
6.1!Button!design!
A list with the currently available predesigned buttons can be found in the SP-12 button legend on
www.empirbus.com. Navigate to “NXT PRODUCTS” and “Download files”, the link is called “SP-12
Button Legend [release date]”.
New buttons can also be designed per request for a fee.
6.2!Display!layout!design!
The display of the SP-12V-CL-D and SP-12V-CL-D can be designed with custom images and logos in 24-
bit color. The screen resolution is 160 x 128 and the display backlight can be programmed to fit the
light environment.
For questions regarding equipment and software for display layout design, contact support.
